A Is For Arctic Monkeys
*Originally released August 7th 2015*
Join Steve and Doug as they begin a new cycle through the alphabet tackling the first request they ever received: British powerhouse band Arctic Monkeys. They also gab about awkward interviews, the mystery of the missing tee shirt, and when David Bowie records super Bowie songs.
Music featured this week:
Flourescent Adolescent - Favourite Worst Nightmare
R U Mine? - AM
I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

11:53 - WatchMojo's list of Top 10 Animated Music Videos, which features Arctic Monkeys' "Do I Wanna Know?" This is a great list!

17:43 - Arctic Monkey's win at the 2006 Mercury Prize Awards was kinda awkward

52:10 - Reportedly, ABBA was offered a cold hard $1 billion (that's with a "b") to go on tour in 2000, by a British and American consortium. Truthfully, it might have still been a profitable tour!
